I’m quite fascinated and frankly, afraid to learn
The amount of electricity that artificial intelligence burns..
*
Training large language models, and running queries on AI platforms
Are energy-intensive to a mind-boggling level, AI performs
Like a gas-guzzling vehicle that is fuel-inefficient
Does the rapid use of AI portend an energy crisis imminent?
*
I learnt that a simple query on ChatGPT
Equals running an LED lightbulb for two minutes, evidently
The carbon footprint of ChatGPT is increased by nighttime use
Therefore daytime interaction with AI I want to choose
*
As AI prepares to take centerstage in coming years
Its disproportionate effect on climate change I fear
I hope there are ongoing efforts to decrease
The climate liability of AI as its influence continues to increase
Passion...unbridled
